Systemic Racism is VISCERAL

Oprah Winfrey has said that the US is at a “true tipping point” with regards to systemic racism.  Speaking on her new YouTube series, Own Spotlight, on which the legendary talkshow host has conversations with black visionaries and activists, Winfrey explained why the Black Lives Matter movement is so seminal.

“We find our nation on a precipice, a true tipping point,” she said.

“And just like all of you for the past few weeks I’ve been talking and zooming with friends and the same question keeps popping up.

“Is this the moment that will finally change our country where people recognize systemic racism for the problem and the evil that it is? Where do we go from here and what is it that we really want?”

Winfrey added that nothing will change until “we acknowledge the hurt and the pain which we have all seen and have felt as visceral”.

Oprah wants us ( I am assuming WHITE AMERICANS ONLY) to recognize systemic racism for the problem and the evil it really is...  and, while that is all fine and dandy...  how does she propose that this little task be accomplished?  The problem is that Oprah proposes NOTHING...  because no one really knows how to change people and/or make them feel the hurt and pain of blacks viscerally...  IT CANNOT BE DONE...

The only thing that America's leaders can do is PASS LEGISLATION that forces people to do this or that...  but, no legislation will ever change what people may or may not feel viscerally...  IT JUST CANNOT BE DONE...

The other issue here is that Oprah Winfrey DOES NOT CONDEMN those blacks who are rioting, burning, and looting our larger cities nor does she CONDEMN blacks shooting white law enforcement officers out of revenge and retaliation, nor does she CONDEMN the defunding of police departments...  nor does she CONDEMN the SYSTEMIC HATRED THAT BLACKS HAVE DEVELOPED FOR WHITES because they are the sons and daughters of SLAVES and the visceral feeling of hate for the WHITES will not go away...

If Oprah WInfrey won't CONDEMN what what the Blacks are doing then one can only conclude that she SUPPORTS IT...
